The lad continued then with the default gift card scam:Dear Barr Sammy False,
that is nice, but don't tell him that I voted for Biden last week.
I'd like to get the funds transfered to my bank account.
The money would be great as a starting capital for a project I am planning.
Best regards,
Joseph Mustache
Mr Mustache wanted it even more quicker so he suggested wiring the amount:Okay you have to send me your account details so I can transfer your fund to your account today, and also send me the require $150 for transferring your fund to your account. Use the $150 to purchase Google play gift card or iTunes gift card. If you send the gift card today your fund will be transfer to your account immediately.
I urge your immediate response with your account details and gift card.
Thanks

Lad insisted on gift cards or a so called "Bit Coin":Dear BAr Sammy False,
Would it be an option to wire you the money directly to a bank account? That way we both can save an extra step to make the process faster. I don't have to go out extra so I don't risk getting the virus and you can get the bank account details directly from the statement.
Best regards,
Joseph Mustache
Confused Joseph replied:What we are only accepting is gift card or Bitcoin. So it will be better you purchase gift card or send Bitcoin. I will advise you to use something to protect yourself (I need to get an FFP2/N95 mask? How do I look like!) and went out and purchase $150 Google play gift card or iTunes gift. Once I receive the gift card your funds will be transferred to your account you will send.
I urge your immediate response.
Thanks

Bar Sammy False
He still insisted on the payment methods:Dear Bar Sammy,
I really don't want to risk getting the virus and I don't even know what a Bitcoin is. Is it some foreign currency?
Apart from that, can't you just send me the bank account that sends me the 100,000$ and then I would wire the 150$ to that account?
Best regards,
Joseph Mustache
Joseph then told Sammy why he has fears of getting the virus currently:We are not permited to pay in and the options the give us is gift card or Bitcoin, that is the reason I advise you to use something to protect yourself and went out. What state are you? Bitcoin is like ATM machine where you can come and made a payment. (Nice explanation..) Try your possible best to purchase the gift card of $150 so I will transfer your fund to you.
I urge your immediate response.
Thank

Lad then gave in and sent a bank account at 4am EST (Can't dm at new forum rn, will do when possible):Dear Bar Sammy,
I live in Roswell, New Mexico. The thing is, my dad is visiting me for a week or two and he is 84. If I somehow get the virus my dad could die. Isn't there some US/White House department or any department at the Trump Organization that could give me a bank account?
Best regards,
Joseph Mustache
Next thing I will probably do is requesting some kind of receipt for the tax statement.
This is the account number you will transfer the $150. When you transfer the $150 today send me the payment receipt.
